“Enough Already“…..says Florida

Still reeling from Hurricane Jeanne this morning, most Floridians are accepting the fact that…the abnormal has now become…..normal!
Cleaning up debris, assessing damage…..accepting loss….has been a month long process for many of us.
Oh, well, at least it wasn’t a snow blizzard….that we wouldn’t know how to handle!
Viewing our screened pool cover, commonly called a ’bird cage’, we find that we did avoid a complete collapse of the entire unit. Using a ladder and pole as props during the storm, we had to run in and out repositioning them again and again as the wind lifted it off our supports…We did this for hours.
Being without electricity was a bummer too…..
When it returned 8 hours later….we really celebrated.
Brittney and Joshua were our helpers…this was Britt’s first Florida storm since she was in North Carolina for Frances….
She videotaped the first part and like all of us….grew weary during loss of power. Joshua was a trouper. He didn’t want to take a nap at all…too much excitement for him to sleep.
All in all, we are still blessed. Living in today’s sunshine, working in shorts for clean up….and having electricity….well that is the Florida we know and love….
